KEY FEATURES

Experience an action-adventure game in a whole new way, which incorporates music into every aspect of the beautiful world. Players interact with the environment and a variety of creatures to open paths and solve puzzles throughout their journey.

Six beautifully hand painted levels, each broken into five chapters, take the player through the unique locations and vivid color pallets.

Featuring an exclusively produced soundtrack with original songs composed specifically for the game by known artists including Austin Wintory, Parov Stelar, Sabrepulse and La Rochelle Band.

Play as Beatbuddy, an ethereal creature who travels to unite with his sisters Melody and Harmony and stop the evil Prince Maestro with the aid of Clef who provides comic relief throughout their journey.

Think of it as Rayman Legends for Wii, but underwater and with a higher emphasis on rhythm. The music is delightful and the game controls beautifully. (With the exception of dashing. It seems a little tricky to aim sometimes.)

I am surprised by how good this game is. It is a rhythm puzzle platforming game. It is really fun moving around with the great beat, and the puzzles are really good. I love how the game looks: colorful, smooth, and beautiful HD. The animations and controls are awesome. The story is very simple, but for this type of game, it is alright.

It is good for 5-6 hours of fun with possible replay value. Pick it up when it is on sale if you like rhythm, puzzle, or platforming games!

I can absolutely recommend this game. I agree in a way with the sluggish controls many reviewers describe but they rarely keep me from really enjoying this game. They just become part of the challenge and I feel you can master them without being too irritated about it. The pure fun and enjoyment of simple but groovy gameplay is all worth it though and the puzzles do progress the further you go. I've been playing this game with my projector on a 100 inch scale and the visuals and detail in the art are mind-blowing. At times it's like an lsd-trip.

This game was completely worth it for me. If you're not sure, just get it in a sale, you won't regret it.
